What Caused the Racket.

You are frightened at the loud, roar
ing noise, are your Think it's an earth
quake because it jars the windows, hey ?
Well it isn't it's only prominent cit
izen down at the court house paying his
taxes. He has found out that they are
$175 and he is making all that noise
about it. He paid SIS for cigars last
month, and his bar bill was $40, and
only last week he was fined $40 for being
drunk and dIsorderly, and he paid all
of these things and never even a little
roar-not even a groWl. But, great
Scott! listen to him now when he finds
his taxes are $1.75! Just hear him howl !
He says the government, general and
local, is a fraud and a snare and a
de usion. Taxes $1,75! He won stand
i'll He knows when he's oppressed and
ground down. A dollar and 70 cents for
a whole years taxes! Great heavens, he
says, no wonder men are Liberals and
Loyal Leaguers.

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, October 15.-
The report published this morning that
General Master Workman Powderly
had, at 1890 m, written his per
emptory resignation, created a sensa
ton. 1t was not generally believed.
Powderly was seen early. He denied
having written his resignation. Re
garding the lack of harmony among
the general executive board, which had
been given out as the cause of the
resignation, Powderly refused to ex-
press himself. Bailey and Barry
members of the executive board, who
it is alleged, have created this dis
cord, were actively engaged cenvassing
their cause and it was intimated that
probably in case the matter came TO q
vote in the assembly would carry at
least hundred delegates with them.

And that startling tableau was the
sight we saw as we emerged on the OPP

mile away. Never will l forget the
scene. The glories of the rising sun
was the background ON the crest of the
high hill rushing, struggling, shouting
mass of humanity, engaged in deadly
struggle. Sharp and clear, the outline
of horse and rider, dark against the
rosy red of opening morning-Jack's
figure erect and fearless, the beautiful
Morning Dawn clinging tightly to him
then the ringing shout, shrill yells,
the phrenzied neigh, and next horse
and riders shooting down through the
bright air to the rushing food and rag

Even the Indians, survivors of that
sanguinary struggle were powerless in
amaze and We might have slaughtered
them had we so minded. But no. If
our friend wss gone. no butchery Of his
slayers could bring him back to US, so
we let the chance pass by.

THEB & 0. RAILROAD REFUSES TO PUT
Up FOR THE TELEGRAPH.
Their Connection .Ssvered-New Phase Of the Syndi-
cate Dsal-Presidsnt Bates Little Scheme
10 Form Rival for the
Western Union.

NEW YORK, October "a Baltimore
special to the Times says: 1T can be
stated authoritatively that the Baltimore
and Ohio road people have at last refused
to put up any more money to run the tele-
graph company, and Friday saw the last
financial connection between the two con-
Germs. The railroad people have formally
notified the officials OF the telegraph COM
pany that on and after October lst they
need not expect any assistance from them.
Some weeks ago, and just before the cul-
limitations of the syndicate scheme for the
transfer of railroad franchise, meeting
of the higher officials of the telegraph COM
pany was held in Baltimore, with closed
doors. The speculative world was all agog
about the matter, but nothing definite ever
leaked out of what transpired on that occa-
sion. 1t is now alleged that this meeting
was called to discuss the manner ofdispos-
ing of the telegraph lines, and it was then
that President Bates conceived the idea OF
securing enough capital to purchase con
trolling interest, and with the system retain
ed under his management create tormid-
able and at the same time profitable rival Of
the Western Union. To purchase it out
right would require $4,000, 900, while a
controlling interest would cost two million
dollars.
1t is asserted that Mr.. Bates secured the
co operation of several large capitalists in
his scheme, and to prove to them that eX-
penses could be materially reduced, with
out interfering with the efficiency Of the
service throughout the country, general
pruning of salaries was inaugurated. The
whole situation is an interesting one, and
puts new phase on the telegraph aud in
fact the entire B. & 0. deal.

following are the facts in regard to the
dispensing of the Anarchist meeting at
Union Hill yesterday afternoon:
The citizens believing that the meeting
would be of incendiary character, request
cd that the police prevent it. A crowd
assembled about the rink and finally
became so disOrderly that the police had
to use their clubs to keep them back.
The reading of the riot act had quieting
effect only for a moment; hardly had 1t
been finished when the mob charged the
police and were again repulsed, several
persons being severely injured by knife
thrusts and stones The police made four
arrests-Henry Tuber, John Diedrick,
Richard BothmaDn and III. L. Krusken.
Bothmann is very seriously injured and

MINNEAPoLIs October 3. The General
Assembly of the h. OF L. was called to
order in Washington Rink, this morning.
by J. P. McCaughreys, of the Cooperative
Board and chairman of the local commit
tee of arrangements. The rink was hand
somely decorated and contained about
3, 200 people. Mr.. McCaughrey read tele-
grams from Mr.. Powderly and Secretary
Litchman, stating that they had been un-
avoidably delayed and could not arrive
until the afternoon. Mr.. McGill had been
called east and was not able to make the
address of welcome on the part of the
State Mr.. McCaughrey made brief re-
marks on the growth Of the order in the
Northwest, and introduced Mayor Ames,
who made formal address of welcome.
The exercises included songs by an espe-
cially trained children's chorus.
In response to Mayor Ames' address of
welcome, Richard Griffiths, General Worthy
Foreman, was introduced in place of Mr..
Powderly He was followed by A. A.
Carlton, of the General Executive Board
He spoke particularly of the growth of the
order, and said:
1t would appear when the reports were
all in Il q the order was not going to pieces,
but was stronger than ever. Ralph Beau
mont, of New York, one of the best takers
in the order, was the next speaker. He
said: at is said that this organization
will go down. If this is so, if ii does 90
down another organization grander and
stronger will rear in its place. The
work of this organization has
not been accomplished. There are
men in this organization who
will come before the country as leaders
yet. Twenty-Five years hence those who
are in the order to-day will be a power in
the the land. They will tower in the
ranks with men like Blaine, and their
pnwer will be felt. The work Of this
organization has Just begun. There are
principles in it that are bound to stand.
The people OF America cannot afford TO let
the organization 90 down.
Richard TrevIyn concluded the morning
session with a short speech, pledging the
order to the support of American princi-
Piles and American institutions The
convention then adjourned until 8 p. m.,
when Mr.. Powderly will deliver his ad

A geological formation supposed 10 be

West Virginia, 100 miles below Wheeling.
Tests are being made, and if they con-
firm the existence Of the deposit, il will
not only he vast benefit to the whole
country, but also largely verify the asser-
tions | have frequently made, that West
Virginia contains incalculable riches in
undeyeloped mineral resources.
In recent letter / alluded to her great
wealth in timber lands. Prof Z. s. Sar-
gent, special agent of the government, in
speaking of the drain upon the forests Of
North America and the approximate
exhaustion of the Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota forests, says: 1.-TWO great
bodies of hardwood timber, however, re-
main, and upon these comparatively slight
inroads have been made as yet The most
important of these forests cover the region
occupied by the Southern Allegheny noun
tain system, embracing Southwest Nir-
ginia, West Virginia, East Kentucky.
Here oak unequalled in quality abounds,
walnut is not scarce, and cherry, yellow
poplar and other woods of large CONNER
cial value and importance are common. I"
Her coal is receiving vigilant investigation
and several hundreds of coke ovens are
being built in MOnongalis and Preston
counties, contiguous TO the main line Of
the b. d o. railroad.
What might be termed are development
has been discovered in the NATURAL gas re-
gion from which Wheeling is s1ppiisd.
Some of the wells have been growing
weak, and it was decided to drill them
deeper, and if possible secure stronger sup
plies. Two hundred feet deeper, 300
feet in ala fourth sand OF wonderful
productiveness was developed. The pres.
sure was increased TO 600 pounds, the re-
sistance by the gas was too strong for fur
ther drilling, and the tools were with
drawn This indicates that the supply
will be limitless, and that increased vol
ume and renewed supplies can he secured
at any time by deeper drilling. The
resources of this region are really won
derful, and as yet they have been but
specifically impinged upon. For iron,
steel, glass and pottery manufacture the
world offers no compen sating advantages,
facilities OF inducements; they exist no
where else in such variety, and cOmpeti-
tion against them is impossible. Specula-
ton, booming or fraudulent pretensions
have never been INDUCED in in this dis.
trict; there have been no temptations
thereto; there are solid, tangible, real AL
vantages to repletion, and this fact has not
only prevented fatulent assertions, but
even her positive claims by reason OF their
very diversity, multiplicity, supremacy
and dis,inctiveness have not received
proper investigation or development.

CHARLEsTOwN, October 3.-Two prom
ising young lawyers, T. C. Green, son of
Judge Green of the Supreme Court of this
State, and Charles Porterield, whose father
is cashier of the Bank of Charlestown, left
here to day for st. Paul, Minnesota, where
they expect to locate. They are young
men of more than average ability, and are
well qualified in their profession. The
former having five and the latter three
years experience in the practice of law.
Their character is of the highest and their
habits regular. Being honest, industrious
and brilliant young men, they have every
prospect for success in their western home.
They were accompanied by Messrs. Jas.
E. WYATT and Arthur Lewis, two young
men of fue business qualities and OF
equally high character. These two young
men will engage in commercial pursuits,
and as they are active business men, will
no doubt meet with success. The good
wishes of this community accompany the
four. By their departure this county
loses four active young Democrats.
